Songs with Transliterations

One of the central experiences of Jewish community is praying together as a congregation. For well over two thousand years, Jews have joined their voices in prayer to a set liturgy that continues to evolve to this day.

For people who are not familiar with Jewish worship, the prayerbook can be intimidating. There are a lot of prayers and the melodies for those prayers can vary a lot from one congregation to another. That is part of the beauty of our varied tradition.

We hope that this page will help make our services more accessible to people who would like to pray along with our congregation. It has recordings of our cantor and rabbi singing some of the more common melodies from our Friday night Shabbat services. If you'd like the words and sounds of some of our other music, just ask! The rabbi and cantor would be happy to help you.

Shabbat shalom!
